'It Blay Became Visible to tha Makad £7* In NoTembar. The Aibaoy Expreti says : " Prof. Bosa, of the Dadley Obsarvatory, has compated the orbit o( the Barnard comet discovered on the 2ad inat. Farther calcniatiooa will be necessary to determine its true orbit, •nd present resalts are merely approximate. As nearly as can be ascertained now, the comet is aboat 190.000,000 miles from the earth and 170,000,000 miles from the son. It will probably reach its perihelion aboat December 10th. The comet and the earth are moving toward each other, and their approach is at the rate of 3,000,000 miles per day. Natarally it will increase greatly in brightness, but as it was extremely faint at discovery, it is yet matter of doabt whether it will become visible to the naked eye. At S resent it rises aboat 1 a. m. at a point a ttle north ot east ; bot later on it will rise before sanset and be visible daring the entire night. The present physical appear- ance of the comet indicates that it is intrin- sically bright and that it will probably develop a large tail, bat the display it will make as seen from tbs earth depends entirely apon the distance from tbe sun when nearest. Tbe present calcalations make this I'io.OOO.OOO milei, with a very large margin of uncertainty. Should it tarn oat to be as small as 110,000,000, the oomet will be a brilliant abject in the Nov- •mber skies. Prof. Bosa intends to repeat • bis calculation near the end ot September, when a great nnmber of observations will have been accumulated, which will make it easy to determine the orbit with greater . oertainty." ^ " Device for Packing Apples. A correspondent of the Prairie Farmer, â- â-  who has bad experience in gathering and packing apples, describes as foUowa a de- vice and gives some practical instroctions in the matter. Gather the apples as soon as they are ripe, which ia as soon as yoa can pull them easily from the twig. Sort them while picking, leaving all small and imperfect ones on the ground. I would like to impress it upon tbe mind of all fruit growers that it does not pay to pat small or imperfect apples in the barrels. Small apples QU the spaces between larger ones ; thsy do not measare any, and lower the . price of the product. Put all sound and perfect fruit in bushel boxes, and take them to some central point to pack in barrels. Make a table, say 6 feet long, 'i^ to 3 feet wide with sides 6 to 8 inches high. Have the legs long enough so that a barrel will go under one end. The other end should be fcur inches higher, so the apples will have a tendency to roll toward the end where the barrel is. Empty the fruit from the boxes into this table, set the head of the barrel with smooth applea. Now, by hold- ing one hand half way down to catch the apples, yon can let them drop in from the table. The advantage ot a table is that you can see any defective trait, and, by turning them halt over as they go into the barrel, you see all aides ot them. Again, yonr bands being free, it enables you to sort them much better than from baskets, and more, it saves handling. Every time fruit ia handled you lose 10 per cent. A man with a true eye and quick hands will &l\ barrels as fast as another can head them. Don't Laarn to Carve. Never learn to carve, young man. There is no fan in it. A knowledge of the art saddles you with a responsibilty which, while it may procure you invitationa to dinner, sits heavily on the soul and brings wrinkles on the forehead. If you do not perform the work artistically yoa are criti- cised. If a tough foul gets away from you and takes refuge in a lady's lap yoa are laughed at and made an enemy ot the fair one whose dreas you soil or spoil. Yon offend Joneo if you send the choicest cut to Smith, and vice versa. You must send tbe best away and reserve only the leiat to be desired for yourself. The waiters make you the subject of their remarks, and by puttiug their heads together and jerking their thumba over their shoulder in your direction embarrass you dreadfully ; yoa know by the fiendish leer on their faces that you are set down as a blacksmith. If the room is warm yoa are thrown into a violent perspiration ; your color wilts, necktie gets awry, your appetite leavea you, and when your labors are finished yon be- gin your dinner with the air of one who has been in a pugilistic mill and come out second best. Don't learn to carve.â€" Vebratka State Journal. â€" ^ ' A Coloasns. A 9 years old lad named Hamel, belong- ing to' Etohemin, just above Quebec, is attracting a good deal ot local attention as a future colossns. Although only 9 years old, as already stated, he has all the appear- ance and size of a well grown young man ot 20. He measures H inohes around the waist, 26 inches around the thigh and 15^ around the oalf of the leg. Db. Donald C. Hood has collected many facta relative to the use of salicylio acid tor rheumatism. Of 728 patients treated with salioylates i'li were relieved ot their pain within seven days ; whereas, ot G12 patients treated by other methods, only UO were relieved within the same time. Tbs "silent Von Moltke" isn't at all silent at home. He ia, on the contrary, a charming, lively and amiable companion. He ia very fond of the wife ot his nephew, who presides over his hoasehold, and of her children. He loves whist and roses, and of these flowers cultivates a great variety. A BODT of Basso-Polish Jews, who for the past eight months have been exploring Palestine in order to report on the districts moat auitable for their scheme of emigra- tion, have retarned to Russia. Their re- port ia that the soil of Palestine is unlikely to repay cultivation, and that also they would be subject to attacks from Turks and Araba. This report, however, will not be taken as &nal. Ga3p.ujin AaHiNorr baa, at his own ex- pense, conquered tweaty miles of territory on the east coast of Africa along the Indian Ocean, and has named it Moscow, and set â-¡ p there an independant government, oi wnich he is the head. He keeps an army of 1,000 men, 130 of them Rassians and the rest Abyssinians, and after a hard fight has secured from the native king from whom he seized the territory a treaty recogni.ang him as a sovereign. A rAuoca French lady, the Countess Pel- legrini Boy, has jast died in Italy. The Coantess was the daughter of Gen. Boy, who fought in the campaigns of tbe revolu- tion and the empire, and she married Coast Pellegrini of Parma, one ot her father's aides-de-camp, in L'^ll. After the tall of Joachim Hurat the Coimt and his wife re- turned to Parma, where the former died some years ago. The Countess, who was born in October, ITS'J, lived in the utmost retirement, and to the last remained a grande dame ot tbe eighteenth century. Tus Rev. Alexander Hannay, D. D. 'Secretary of the Congregational Union of England and Wales, and his companion, Mr. Benry Lee, of Manchester, left Eng- land six weeks ago as a deputation to the Congregational Churches ot Australia and New Zealand. A letter from Dr. Hannay describes the tropics and the Southern C ross aa delusions. He likens the Southern Cross to a skeleton kite; and aa to the tropics, tbe temperature was suggestive of overcoats, and the aky was as fall ot clouds as the aky in the Weat Highlands when a storm is gathering. Taia is from the New York Sun : " Too late to be ot much use this year, but in time to be adopted extensively next aum- mer, the girls have learned the beauty of (be dannel-shirt idea, and many of them have pat it into operation. A dannel shirt exactly like those made tor the men, boy's size, worn instead of a dress body, and belted at tbe waist, is very charming and comfortable beyond imagining. Dealers in men's furnishing good« in faabionable shopping districts are making frequent sales to the girls of shirts made to sell to tha giria' small brothers." Tax London correspondent et the Man- chester Guardian writes : " I remember tbe poet Browning saying how helpful Carlyls was to him when he was a young Laan, and he has still a great admiration for tbe illustrious writer. The public will be pleased to learn that Mr. Browning has entrusted to Mr. Norton, tor tbe purpose of publicatiou, some letters that passed between Carlyle and himself more than dtty yeara ago. A portion ot this corres- pondence, wbioh ia of great interest, will shortly appear in tbe second series ot the • Lettera ot Thomas Carlyle,' which cover the period from 1826 to 1835." C.N.Jo&OiU( estimates that he has signed bis name millions and millions of times as bank president and Treasurer ot the United States. When he was President ot the Third National Bank he signed bis name as often as 13,000 times in one day, and he used up from fifteen to thirty pens a day. His coat sleeves suffered greatly iu the work, but they could be repaired, while the tlesh on bis wrist, which suffered tbe most, could not be repaired, though he robbed it freely with vaseline and cold cream. Mr. Jordan writes with a light stroke, and he says as Secretary of the Treasury he con- sumed only one-third as much ink as his predecesaors. A SANITARY Congress for South America has recently been held at Lima. Articles relating to the public health were signed by tbe delegates from BoUvia, Chili, Eqaador and Peru. They declare the object ot the Congress to be to estabUsb an international system among tbe States of South America, and to check the development and spread of infectious diseases, especially yellow lever and cholera, as well as the plague. Intelligence offices are to be established, and a system of inter-com- manication by which the appearance of any infoctioas disease may be known at onoe. They also adopted detailed regula- tions relating to disinfection and quarantine. M. Phillecx, a Frenchman, has just discovered an infallible remedy for the potato disease. This is the recipe Put thirteen pounds ot sulphate ot oopper and the same qaantity of chalk into twenty- two gallons of water, and souse the plants with the mixture. An experiment made from the 5th to the 16th Auguat saved the diseased plants thus treated, while 32 per cent, of those which were left to themselves went to tbe wall ; but the disease must be taken in hand as soon as the first black spots have been perceived on tlie leaves. The remedy is simple enough, and so is the application, which has been favorably received by the Paris Academy of Sciences. TuK suicides ot Paris sometimes do droll things in taking leave ot a world that proves too much for them. The Fignrv of Aagsat '23rd sojipliea an instance. A carpet dealer having by a long run of hard tin:es been brought to that particular state of de- spair known to our French friends aa weari- QCBS of pulling the devil by the tail, took a header into the Seine. Somehow or other the water refused to drown him. Recogniz- iaj{ the force ot the adage which says that drowning is impossible to one born to be banged, be returned to his lodgings and quietly hanged himself, having first written this cheerful note: " Friends and neighbors who out me down, take a bit of my rope anl maybe it will bring you good lack." l.s France last year many more women tha a men applied" to the Court tor divorce and jodioial separation. The figures were ks follows , For divorce, l,8i8 men, 2,733 women ; for judicial separation, 433 men, 2,564 women. Colonel Robert Ingersoll, in I a recently published interview, declared as the lart word of American free thought that women aboold be free to demand divorce at discretion, hut that men shotild only be allowed to claim it on certain clearly defined breaches of tbe nuptial con- tract by the wife. The proposal is note- worthy as indicating the way in which the pendulum is swinging to-day. The law, long unduly favorable to the husband, will probably in fature err if at all in being too favorable to the wife. An interesting meeting was held recently in Exeter Hall, London. Tbe occasion was a tarswell to Mrs. Booth-Tucker, rlaaghter of the "General," and fifty missionary officers who were about to set sail for India. It was announced that daring the last year 335.000 had been spent upon land and buildings in India and some $°25,0OO for the maintenance ot the work. The Governor ot Ceylon, it was stated, had granted the army the privilege ot working among the prisoners, and bad further promised an annual grant of money. The missionaries now going out go voluntarily and without guarantees, and they have promised to wear the dress of tbe natives and as tar as proper to adopt their castoms. The General" handed his daughter her " com miaaion," and ordered bet to be a faithful servant of Jesus Christ and a loyal and obedient soldier of the army. .\ccoiiDiNG to the BritiMh ili-dical Journal halt of all who live die before 17.

A Would-be Suicide's Ballat Checked b7 tha Appearance of His Sweetheart. Miss Sylvester did not like to jilt her lover, for they had spent many happy hours together, but he was only a poor clerk on a small salary and she was tired of penary. When Waldo Lynn, a rich old bachelor, proposed to him she accepted him, bat she was very sorry afterwards for having been so hasty. The trouble was that young Christopher would not give her back her letters when she broke off the engagement, and she was very much afraid that he would show them to Mr. Lynn. Get these letters back she must, and this is the way she set about it. She had a friend on the same floor where her former lover boarded, and aa Inck would have it, his door was not locked on the day she called there, so she slipped stealthily into his room. She felt rather ashamed ot herself, too, for all about the place were arranged Uttle presents she bad worked for him daring their engagement. Tears came to her eyes when she opened his desk and took out her letters, which had been labeled : " Lettera from my darling Lillie," bat she put them away in her pocket quickly. She walked aoftly to and fro over the carpet and looked at the room. How prettily be had framed her picture 'â-  How he had cared for her little presents I Had she driven him away '.' Where was be going 7 Ob, there was his own photograph. " Heigh-oh '." sighed Miss Sylvester. She took it in her hand. " How handsome he is I" she whispered. " How good he looks '. I often thmk that Mr. Lynn really has a cruel expression. After all, what will his money be to me if he is miserly ? He has aucb a clone. abut, thin-Upped mouth. People are always mean with mouths like that, they say. Ob, dear ; he s been writing a letter."

Under the heading ot " New Berlin " many interesting particulars ot the pro- gress ot the Prussian capital since 1471 have been gathered by Prof. Paloezy, who contributed them as a feailleton to the .Vttt<! Frtie Vrett. There are now, it seems, twenty-five public libraries in Berlin, with more than 100,000 volumes. Vienna's? , u , j ,_ . u ,. . twenty-nine pubhc squares are compared L»"^ »»^« ^l'PP«l^ ">«â- = '~f ^^^^ all I have vaster of â- â-  la that with forty eight possestei by B«rlin. Tboagh Vienna has its Prater and Paris its Bois de Bologne, Bsrliu surpasses both in Granewald, with its immense extent, its hills and vales, its woods and lakes, villas and banting lodges. The northern limit of Berlin now lies close to the houses of Cbarlottenburg, the largest suburb. That city expends yearly more than 10,000,000 marks on tbe poor, and mendicants m the streets are unknown. The citi/.ens take pride in serving their city without reward More than 12,000 of them are now working for the town gratis, while the number of paid officers is comparatively insignificant. More than half of the thirty-one magis- trates who carry on the direction of affairs in the " red hoose" have no aalary, though their office is no ainecure. Tbe unselfish devotion to the general well being is the guaranty tor the farther development ot tbe city. It is only four years ago that the Prussian Landtag voted 4,000.000 marks for Ihe increase of the royal museums of Berlin. Several millions of marks have been recently voted for deepening the bed of tbe Spree and for improvements of the Ipper Spree Canal, which will greatly facilitate the trade ot the city. The city railways cost enormous sams. The Minis- terial palaces, though simple in style, htve luxurious and commodious interiors. I'uur monumental post-offices and the magnificent Polytechnic at the west end of the Tbier- garten are the boaat of the city. The new palace ot the Reichatag in the Konigsplatz 18 rising from its foundations, and in lesa than three years it will probably be the greatest ornament ot the city. A striking illustration ot the nrogress of Berlin is tbe almost unexampled increase of tbe students in the university, who numbered in 1887 no less than I3,888. At this moment tbe university of Berlin is the moat fre<|ueoted in the world ; that of Vienna comes next. The number of professors is about 300. Tbe pupils in tbe new Polytechnio number more than 1,'200, and all the other schoola are in a Nourishing condibiuu. â€" Loruivn Daily Sttct. A Sure Keiuedy for Neuralgia. Neuralgia is one of the most common and distressing complaints incidental to this climate. It is not confined to any particular season, for whilst most general in the win- ter seasons, yet many au:fer its excruciating agony in the heat of aummer. In late yeara this form of disease has become better known, and consequently the means ot re- lief have become greatly increased in nam- bers, as well as in efficacy. Among tha moat powerful and penetrating combina- tions, placed within the reach of tbe public for the relief of neuralgia, we can mention no remedy e<{ual to or more certain than Poison's NEBvii.i.'iE. Ita power over pain is something wonderful, and we advise a trial for nearaUia, or any other painful com- plaints. Nerviline is soli by all druggists at '.'5 cents a bottle, also trial bottles at 10 cents. Orl(io ot the CampalKO Rooater. Tbe campaign rooster of politics which ornaments the columns of partisan jour- nals tbe day after a successful election has a strange origin as a party emblem, says the New York Sun. There waa a Democrat editor in one ot the towns of Indiana named Chapman. One ot the Demo- cratic managers ot that date thought things were not going as prosperously for the party as they ahouldgo. Ha wrote to stir the politicians, and among other things he said: "Tell Chapman to crow" and claim victory. This letter, by accident, fell into the hands ot the Whigs. They printed it, and in the whole campaign, from one end of the country to the other, the words " Tell Chapman to crow " were ringing iu derision. The Boston Herald, which is pretty good authority, adds that the year following this episode tbe late Colonel Charles O. Greene, of the Boston Poit, when the Democrats began to win victories, turned the laugh upon the op- ponents of Democracy by getting out the cut of a rooster in earnest. This was the origin of the crowing fowl in American politics. A Doctor Appreciated. Jeweller Henry Popper, of New York, called on Dr. Markua Maskiewiez, of that city, yesterday and banded him a $300 gold watch. " Why, what's this for 7" asked the doc- tor in surprise. " You saved the lives ot my two child- ren, who suffered from diphtheria, and I can never forget you," spoke the man. " Don't decline such a small gift from me." Tbe doctor accepted it. He it was that recently saved the life of a Brooklyn woman who had previously robbed him ol his watch ; and it is very likely that Jewel- ler Popper was prompted to make the gift after reading tbe recently pablished item to that effeot. unlocked the desk, and replaced them in their box. " At least I may leave him with that cootiolation," sh<- said. " How I wish I had never seen Mr. Lynn ; and, oh 'â-  how I wish I bad never come here," she added, wring- ing her hands, as the horror of her position once more crept over her. It waa growing dark ; tbe gong was ringing for dinner. What would happtii next'.' Tbe next thing that happened was this â€" Some one came upstairs. The door opeuaa and Mr. (. hristopber entered. Mis* Sylvester had retreated to a closet, but it was dark enough to allow her to peep through a crevice. Mr. Christopher duug himself into his chair and uttered a groan. Miss Sylvester peeped out a little further- He wa.4, as well aa she could see in tbe darkness, palling his hair with both hands. Then be groaned again. There was desperation in the tone, and It terrified Miss Sylvester to such a degree that she did not shut the door after he had ht tbe gas. Throngb the aperture between tbe door and the jamb she watched bim closely ; aaw him stoop over his valise, open it, take forth several white articles and a blae one, and then stand erect, hold- ing a revolver imder the gas jet. Evidently he was about to commit suicide, and forgetting all elae save that bia life was in danger. Miss Sylvester tlew out of the closet and across tha room, and clinging wildly to bis arm, sobbed forth these words : " Ub, James, dear : I didn't know yoa loved mo so truly. O, please forgive me '. I hate Mr. Lynn ; I bate him. 1 never cared tor any one but you." Tbe pistol fell to the floor, and though Mr. Christopher might oow. indeed, have had his revenge on the girl who had used bim very badly, he only clasped her in his arms and kissed her. However, the proprieties must be ob- served, and in five minutes more Miss Sylvester waa outside ot the street door. Somebody must be unhappy in this world. This time it was Waldo Lynn. But bachel-.sof 40 are tough, and have too much experience to suffer greatly over a broken engagement. Besides, Miss Sylves- ter and Mr. Christopher were evidently in- tended for each other. â€" .St. Paui Globe. The Apprecistlva Lioa. Fat Man â€" We want to see the animals.
